Alles Walzer! - Everyone Waltz!

Over the course of decades and centuries, since the first balls were introduced, the Viennese society was using their balls to promote the cultural diversity and ever-growing multiculturalism of the city. Nowadays refugee balls, LGBTIQA balls, minority and immigrant balls, are equally represented and attended as the more traditional Opera Ball, Vienna Philharmonic Ball, Ball of the Coffeehouse Owners… Most of the times created as an awareness raising events, as well as the occasion for raising funds for specific causes, Viennese balls have been the icebreakers in social integration and multiculturalism for more than 300 years.
